Noise-cancelling headphones / NC headphones
Is it headphones or a headset for work – and who is the manufacturer? The Poly Voyager Free 60+ UC is hard to categorize. And the answers to the questions are not definitive… Poly is an American manufacturer of telecommunications equipment, including headsets. Many people know the company’s products, including the Voyager series, under the …
The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds II have some new features compared to their predecessor, in addition to being reduced in size by over 30 per cent. This is noticeable as the new ones are significantly more comfortable. The microphone also provides better sound on calls than its predecessor’s stemless design. You can save up to four …
Free Byrd is larger than most, almost on par with NuraTrue Pro, which are quite large in order to accommodate perhaps the most advanced technology available in any pair of earbuds. But in Free Byrd, you’ve just got the standard features, including noise cancellation and ambient sound, so strictly speaking, it should have been possible …
The market for completely wireless earbuds has become very crowded, with a few standing out among a large crowd of mediocre ones. With its new top model TW-E7B, Yamaha wants to carve out a place for itself in the premium segment and has invested in large 10 mm drivers to reproduce the music with the …
With the all wireless Fidelio T1, Philips takes on the class-leading premium hearing aids. It’s a bold move, as this price range includes the Bowers & Wilkins PI7, Devialet Gemini and Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EQ. In fact, Philips earbuds cost about 20 percent more than Sony’s latest top model, the WF-1000XM4. That’s a commitment! …
The replacement for the Bose QuietComfort 35 II is not surprisingly called QuietComfort 45. It is confusingly similar to the QC 35 II, with physical buttons and all. The earcups have a slightly smoother design, where the joints were more angular with the predecessor. The headband is now upholstered in smooth imitation leather instead of …
The JBL Tour One feels solid in the hands, and sits comfortably on the head. And I like the feeling they give when they are in the hands. Physical buttons for sound level, wireless connection and sound processing such as noise cancellation and ambient sound make them easier to get to know than some others, …
When Bose gave us the QuietComfort 35 5 years ago, it was something very special. They had cut the cable on their best noise-canceling headphones (QC25), thus changing the entire market for wireless headphones. It was not long before “everyone” followed Bose’s lead, and the shops were flooded with wireless, noise-canceling headphones. Now no one …
Bang & Olufsen has recently expanded its range of wireless headphones at a speed that almost makes you dizzy. Among them the lifestyle gaming headphones Beoplay Portal and the high-end flagship Beoplay H95. Beoplay EQ is a physically much smaller novelty, namely a set of completely wireless hearing plugs. And for the first time with …
Since the end of 2020, the top headphones from Bang & Olufsen have been Beoplay H95. They are fantastic, but also far more expensive than their predecessor, the Beoplay H9. Beoplay HX is a new headphone in the upper tier of the premium class, which in terms of price fills the gap after H9. The …
Gaming is no longer something that is reserved for pimpled teenage boys. It is played on consoles, mobiles and computers everywhere and by all age groups. And the biggest game titles have long since overtaken the biggest Hollywood movies in circulation. Based on this, it is no wonder that Bang & Olufsen wants a piece …
The live series are JBL’s youth headphones for an urban lifestyle. JBL Live 650BTNC is the top model which, unlike the others, has noise reduction. With regard to the device, it is acceptable to only have a fabric bag for storage rather than a case. It also comes with a micro-USB charging cable as well …
From time to time, Pioneer strikes with headphones that make us stop. Like the musical Pioneer SE-MS7BT. But this time, they are trying to combine a pair of on-ear street headphones with noise reduction. A not quite simple combination. It should be noted that the Pioneer SE-S6BN is not a travel headphone as it does …
The Sennheiser headphone giant has not just one, but two top models in active noise reduction (ANC) headphones, and both have now come in new generations: Momentum 3 Wireless for “nice” use in the office and PXC 550-II for commuting and travel use. The Sennheiser PXC 550-II is a discreet and relatively compact over-ear model. …
